Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Puranic EncyclopediaVāruṇatīrtha (वारुणतीर्थ).—A holy place at the mouth of river Indus. Mention is made in Mahābhārata, Vana Parva, Chapter 82, Stanza 63, that those who bathe in this place will be filled with radiance and will enter the world of Varuṇa.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
India history and geography
Source: Heidelberg: Glory of the Tiruvanantapuram Padmanabhasvami TempleVaruṇatīrtha (वरुणतीर्थ) refers to one of the Tīrthas (“sacred water-bodies”) mentioned in the Anantaśayanakṣetramāhātmya, a text talking about the Thiruvananthapuram temple in eleven chapters, written before the 14th century and claiming to be part of the Brahmāṇḍapurāṇa.—A māhātmya usually describes the Tīrthas (sacred water-bodies) in the surroundings of the centres that figure in that māhātmya. In the eleventh chapter Anantaśayanakṣetramāhātmya, too, we find a list of Tīrthas around the Tiruvanantapuram Temple [e.g., Varuṇatīrtha] describing its legends and glory.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
